I call BS on at least some of those claims. Citation or GTFO

The mosquito one is absolutely BS, there's 6k+ species of mosquitoes but only like a couple bite humans

The bats and shit will be fine, it's time to eradicate mosquitoes!

Agreed. There is a method that is simple, cheap, and non-toxic (to everything else).

I was gonna comment for anyone who didn't want to read the schpeel that it was just mosquito dunks (or BTI) and any plant parent knows about them.

In all honesty, the article said mosquitos in general, not just the ones that bite humans.
